A report published by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) on Tuesday revealed that Israeli strikes and bombings have caused damage to at least 24 UNRWA facilities in the Gaza Strip since October 7.

"[A total of] 24 confirmed reports of UNRWA installations across the Gaza Strip impacted due to airstrikes and bombardment. The actual number is likely to be higher," the report read.

The UN's facilities were not exempted from Israeli aggression as they were used to shelter Palestinian families.

As part of its efforts to depopulate the strip, "Israel" is currently in the process of conducting an ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their territory.

Yesterday, the UNRWA confirmed that its centers in southern Gaza have received approximately 400,000 displaced people, with the agency estimating that there are over one million displaced people in total.

UNRWA emphasized that the level of destruction in the Gaza Strip is unparalleled and that the needs of the displaced population surpass their capacities. The agency further warned of the severe health risks faced by the people of Gaza, who are forced to consume contaminated water.

It also stated that the power stations ceased to function, leaving people in the darkness since the beginning of the ongoing aggression. These statements from UNRWA coincide with the ongoing bombing campaign that has been continuous for ten days.
